extensions make this better: add hooks and docs #126

Open daretodave opened 5 months ago

daretodave commented 5 months ago

right now the only hook is RUNNER_THEME_CSS

add a bunch more and inject them throughout lifecycle

some ideas:

add commands
add layout flow
- override symatic layout
add hotkeys
add transformers

current syntax - https://github.com/mterm-io/mterm-ext-red/blob/main/mterm.js

module.exports = {
    RUNNER_THEME_CSS: `
        .runner-container.runner-container__normal_mode, .runner-container.runner-container__commander_mode {
          background: rgba(199, 0, 20, 0.89);
          color: white;
        }
    `,
}

add more [HOOK_NAME]: RESOLVER

middleware for commands

hault execution possible
use express format
EXECUTION_MIDDLEWARE: [{ when: BEFORE|AFTER|RESPONSE, task (next)}] change hook format
make everything hard defined. not a loose scaffolding
this makes per hook tap in a bit annoying. but will add abstractions around this for runtime

add post install note hook

for sending messages to the user after install!

still missing:

command hooks
layout hooks
hotkeys
transformers
